Chris: Well, according to traditional D&D wisdom, [[Lloth]] was a member of the [[Seldarine]], in charge of the Drow, who were some type of elves different from other elves. Who knows?

tcm: why does everyone think elves are exctinct?
why are Orm's Moorish Allies concerned where elves go when they're old (the West, as they say), and more importantly, why are they killing off elves all over the place if their Caliph is half elf?
why do the elves in the Lost Elven City worship the Spider Goddess instead of the good gods?
